Jefferson, WI

Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
3 years old (estimated) Spayed female 35 lbs Has done well with other dogs at the shelter No known experience with cats or kids Delta is a spunky, energetic girl who came to us from down south and is always ready for her next adventure. She’s active, playful, and loves staying busy, whether that means exploring, zooming around, or engaging with her people. Delta’s bold personality and enthusiasm for life make her a fun companion for someone looking for an upbeat, lively cat. She’d thrive in a home that can match her energy and keep her entertained. The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.February 4, 2026, 1:01 pm
